Pasu Sar, Passu Sar or Pasu I is a 7478 meter high mountain in the Batura Muztagh, a portion of the Karakoram. Together with his side peak, the 7284 meter high Diar Pasu (also Pasu East, Pasu II), it forms the Pasu massif.

Location

The Pasu Sar is located west of Hunzatales in the autonomous region of Gilgit- Baltistan, the northernmost part of Pakistan. Its highest peak is about 7 km from the Batura Sar away and is located on the main ridge of the Batura Muztagh. Its eastern neighbor on the main ridge is the Shispare, on its south ridge follows the Sangemarmar Sar. The Pasu II is located east of the main summit. Here the ridge is divided into a northern arm descends to the Hunza valley, and a southern arm, which is the extension of the Karakoram main chain via Shispare and Ultar Sar and also drops to the Hunza Valley. Between the two arms of the Pasu Glacier flows east to the Hunza Valley. North of the Nordarms and the main summit flows the Batura Glacier

Climbing history

The Pasu Sar was first climbed on August 7, 1994 by the German Dirk Naumann, Ralf Lehmann, Volker Wurnig and Max Wallner. Ascent and descent were made on skis. The also planned climb of Pasu Diar ( Pasu II) failed because of the bad weather.
